Perhaps the mysterious door is the only hope out of this blank, empty void. Inkwell walks toward the light where they could hear someone calling out to another someone. Upon entering, they found themselves in another place, an island. Bright blue skies and green grass, the rays of the golden sun shines through the island. Inkwell then found out the object behind the door, a flag pole.
???: Torch?! Where are you? It's me, Flag! Please, stop hiding! I won't hurt you!
It seems like the object's name is Flag. Quite obvious. Flag continued to call out someone named Torch as Inkwell slowly walked towards him.
Inkwell: Uhh... Excuse me-
Flag: Ah! I'm sorry I'm not here to interrupt the competition I'm just looking for my friend Torch okay?!
Inkwell: Uhm, what competition?
Flag: Aren't you a contestant? In the competition happening here on this island? If I remember correctly, it's... uh... Inanimate... Insanity... Invi... tational...?
Inkwell: No... I don't know what that is. I just came here, alright? Something happened back-
Flag: Wait, is that a Time Cube with you? Did you travel here using the Dimension Travelling Machine? Are you from Inanimatica?
Inkwell: Well, yes. But no, I didn't travel here with that machine. I got... attacked... by a friend of mine who got corrupted by the apocalypse that is happening back there.
Flag: Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about. It was my co-worker, Torch, who caused that. He... he wanted to take over Artist's Tower using that "ink machine" that our boss somehow stole from another world. Of course, everything went wrong, causing that inky apocalypse to happen. He's trying to hide from us by going to other dimensions. So, now I'm here.
Inkwell: Is that so? Well...-
It seems like the next challenge of Inanimate Insanity Invitational is going to be held at the spot where the two are. To their surprise, they just stood there.
MePhone 4: ...and for our next challenge is- huh? Who are you?
Flag: Look, I'm not here to ruin the show or anything but... have you seen a wooden torch somewhere?
MePhone 4: Wooden torch? Wooden torch... wooden torch... Hmmm- nope. Haven't seen one. But the main question is, how'd you two even get on this island?
Inkwell: Travelling through dimensions I guess.
Flag: Yep, we travelled through dimensions.
Bot/Bowbot: Travelling through dimensions? Wow! That sounds super cool! Is there any way I could also do that?
Candle: Well, I believe that there's another way of travelling through dimensions but that dimension is the so-called "astral plane", in which we-
Yang: That's a lie! There's no such thing as travelling to alternate realities!
Yin: Uhh, not sure who to believe though.
Inkwell: Sigh...
Inkwell walks away with the Time Cube, somewhere a bit far away. They just couldn't believe it, they saw Popcorn corrupted in their own eyes. Also noticing that Scroll wasn't even with them at the gym. But at least, this is for the greater good. The Inkfection can't go through other dimensions, right? Flag followed Inkwell with a concerned look and sat beside them. MePhone and the others just watched and so they continue to do the said challenge.
